Science fiction is often renowned for its sociological and allegorical storytelling. Creating visions of the future and what technologies may be invented is an interesting exercise, but many of the best sci-fi stories examine the human condition. Star Trek leaned into humanity as a collective force for good, with the original series tackling issues like racism and interracial relationships amid the civil rights movement of the 1960s. That legacy has kept alive to this day, with Star Trek: Resurgence being one of its next projects.
